I've watched them pecking away at this stretch of Comm. Ave. for decades.

Do you remember, for example, when the Green Line had neither Jersey barriers, nor iron fences, nor stations? I guess it was a streetcar then; now it's light rail.

But basically it's all the same...

You mean like the Blandford street stop, among a few others?

Just a slab of concrete with a faded yellow line.

Also, yesterday I observed something interesting. On the inbound side, they have a large pipe running between the sidewalk and the road. Halfway down the block, people are asked to move from the sidewalk onto the road, over the pipe.

Except the pipe is too large for wheelchairs, so this guy had to go all the way back, and then roll along the street, with the cars, to make it down the street. Not very safe.

It needs to survive another twenty years unaltered, and then we'll all be cooing over it. They'll restore it to better than new and spend more than it cost to build it. The National Trust will give them an award.

^BU may move quickly with its projects, but Boston sure doesn't! Has anything changed this month from last???

No, they havent even started on the actual street. All the construction has been on the sidewalk, moving water pipes and so on. Thats why I stopped my updates. Theres movement yes...but in pictures it means not much.
